With one outrage after another, does any of it matter?

Welcome to another week of the onslaught and overload that is Trump 2.0. What should we talk about?

With one outrage after another, does any of it matter?

PRESIDENT TRUMP told generals to consider using U.S. cities as training grounds for the military in a televised address this week.

President Trump's threat to use the military in more American cities? Secretary of “War” Pete Hegseth’s He-Man rant to top military brass?

Or what about the government shutdown?

In a week with enough drama to make the Mormon wives seem tame in comparison, it’s hard to know whether all of it matters or none of it. Because, of course, we desperately want none of it to matter, since it’s all just too much.

But too much is never enough for Trump. So let’s break it down, starting with the big man himself.

'Enemy from within'

“I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military,” the Commander-in-Beef said during his Kim Jong Il-style televised address to military leaders.

“San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, they're very unsafe places and we're gonna straighten them out one by one,” Trump said. “This is going to be a big thing for the people in this room because it's the enemy from within and we have to handle it before it's out of control.”

Yes, Los Angeles, you, with your whimsical opera whodunits and Hollywood ghost tours, are a threat to American stability. Knock it off or the National Guard will knock it off for you.
